At the end of the day, Pacquiao didn't want the fight.

  1. Well then he should have asked Ricky to fight him at a time of the day more acceptable, like maybe a few hours after the middle of the day. Definately not at the start of the day though. I thought most fights took place at or near the end of the day? What's with Manny anyway? The guy's losing the plot if you ask me.

    That's what it's come down to. Hopefully the Mayweather fight comes off. But if this is any indication, there's no chance in Hell.

    And I totally agree with him. The hard work he has put in for the past years has to pay off somewhere down the line. This guy basically started making good $$ a couple of years ago while Hatton has been getting pay big $$ for fighting bums in Britain, yes I said it BUMS! **** that, give credit where credit is due. If Hatton doesnt want to do the 60-40 so be it, IMHO Hatton needs Pac more than the other way around.

    wrong title should be "At the end of the day, Pacquaio did'nt want the money only the respect."

    Thread fail.

    hatton is delusional if he thinks he can call the shots in this fight.:deal

    I didn't pay too close attention to this ordeal but it does appear as if Pacman backed out for one reason or another. I don't think he was afraid. Maybe someone on his team thought he had little chance to win? Who knows.

    Hatton brought so many fans to the mayweather fight about 20,000 got locked out . Love him or hate him ,he is the man who brings the money to the table. Pacman cant demand 60% against a box office smash .

    At the end of the day....
    The story in the Telegraph is fact, not make believe, not fantasy fact.

    "Hattons camp budged to 52/48."
    "Manny had his purse raised to a guarenteed 11mil." Just to give a comparrison, thats the same as what Floyd got in guarenteed money.
    "Freddie Roach is also irked that he has not been able to contact Pacquiao"

    If Bob Arum and Roach are scratching their heads it amazes me that so many people have all the answers.

    I won't critisize both fighters for going after their worth but things just don't seem right when that amount of money is on the table for either camp to have a problem.
